Looking at the title of the film "Suicide Shop" and the poster it promotes, I thought it was a horror-thriller genre, but it turned out to be a comedy musical with some dark humor. The film tells the story of a couple who sell various suicidal tools, and the family lives in a tangle until the birth of their youngest son, Allen, changes this situation. The film starts with singing and dancing. When a person who wants to commit suicide is taken to a suicide store, the husband and wife also introduce their store in the form of singing and dancing, with some comic effects. Alan's birth broke the lifeless state of the family. He took the risk and didn't care what others thought of him, and wanted to give their family some vitality. Alan's sister Monroe danced the movie to a climax. She didn't want to be a girl who was laughed at by her mother for being ugly and fat. She began to appreciate her figure and gave herself some confidence until she met her true love. Allen smashed the suicide store with a trick, and the family switched to selling crepes. The story ends with a happy reunion.

In the film, Allen, Monroe, and Mishima (Allen's father) are the key tasks. Allen always feels like a kid who laughs 24 hours a day. Ever since he was sensible, he has never liked the family business. Although Dad was very mean to him, he still had to say goodnight to him and give him a kiss. Mom asks Aaron to deliver to the person who bought the suicide, but Aaron saves the man who was about to kill himself by giving him a chance to be reborn, telling him that he hopes to have a good day. When Allen was having fun on the school bus, he found that the driver had killed a person. He was very sad and hoped that he could be comforted, but the other children disagreed, saying that he was just a child and there was nothing he could do. Allen is the prototype of a normal person in the film. He is the only one who was not poisoned by his family background at that time and is still a sunshine boy. This is really really hard, people often say that the environment changes a person. Monroe has long had this awareness to change the status quo, but she doesn't have the ability. Always ridiculed by her mother, without any confidence, full of decadence and deep eye bags Gothic iceberg beauty. Allen started from her sister and started to change her. From giving her gifts, her sister continued to gain self-confidence and appreciate her beauty. Finally, my sister met her true love and changed the status quo of the family. She stopped selling suicide supplies and started selling crepes to bring joy to everyone. Mishima is a person who has been living in a state of entanglement and self-blame. He has always been a serious person and has never laughed, so he felt that his children should not be joking, until he became ill and found that his family business No, when Allen performed the bouncing bed for him, he really found himself and the meaning of his true life.

The end of the film is a big reunion situation. All the people who committed suicide in the crepe shop have come back. Although they have committed suicide, they are no longer full of resentment, complaining, and dissatisfaction with life, but have changed their attitudes. Life is beautiful and everything goes on. The old man who appeared at the beginning of the film appears again at the end. With the sound of a gunshot of the old man committing suicide, Mishima said goodbye to his past self and also said goodbye to his former self. Although there are many unsatisfactory things in life, all these will pass, and suicide will not solve any problems.
